How have the courts interpreted jury instructions in a sexual assault case?

In the absence of any evidence to the contrary, we presume the jury here followed the trial court's instructions. (People v. Gonzales (2011) 51 Cal.4th 894, 940 ["jurors are presumed to be intelligent and capable of understanding and applying the court's instructions"].) Thus, to the extent the prosecutor's erroneous theory could conceivably have suggested an erroneous legal theory, we conclude the jury instructions clarified any possible misunderstanding on the law.
